Did I enjoy these performances? Nope! Did I know who any of the musicians were? Also, nope! This event did a stellar job at making this twenty-two-year-old feel old as hell. So, going into this event, my main question was how will a videogame meant to be seen on a 3-4 inch screen be scaled to be seen and consumed in a big sporting event-like capacity? Well, the PUBG Mobile Club Open World Finals answered my question in a cavalcade of pyrotechnics, set design, and grounded commentary.ĭay 1, and each day that followed, opened with a live music performance.

But I have logged hundreds of hours in the Xbox One version and I’ve long watched streamers play the PC version from casual to competitive levels. It is an efficiently scaled down version of the battle royale videogame that took the world by storm a few years back.

I’ve played some PUBG Mobile here and there, and it works quite well. Oh, I also happened to arrive on one of the hottest days Berlin has seen in ages.

Beyond these basic facts, I had no idea what to expect as I boarded my seemingly days-long flight to Germany’s largest city from Atlanta. The 16 best teams from all over the world would compete for the top three places, all of which earned the position holders a big money prize-$180,000 to be exact. Three days of heightened competition stretched across the last weekend of July in one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. Last week the PUBG Mobile Club Open World Finals were held in Berlin, Germany.
